Anyone have any tips or is this normal, the hood of this Hybrid CRV is so delicate I went to check the oil in my car and you know how you push the hood down when you’re done instead of slamming it? I push it down on the center and it caved in and it did come back up by itself but now I have a small dent on my hood has this happened to anyone else it’s not noticeable unless you walk up on it from a certain direction and sun light. So sad how can it be so easily to leave a dent checking oil it’s right on the center where the latch is.

Hulk Smash! LOL

Did you push down above the latch or in the centre of hood? Most hoods are convex so pushing on the centre hard enough would likely lead to a dent. Don’t think it’s a material issue.

I just pushed it down like any person would nothing hard like in did with my other cars. Trust me I didn’t want to damage the hood so I just pushed down to close. I don’t see how it would leave a dent so easily slightly above where the latch is under the hood. Unless something fell on the hood at the exact same spot we had a storm last night but what are the odds. Going to try some things to get it out looks like it just needs a reverse pull out if you know what I mean.

I will try and take a pick maybe you guys can tell if it’s damage from an object or pushing down closing the hood.

I learned not to push down, a LONG time ago!

Haha well me I didn’t want to damage the hood by slamming it down and look at me now lesson learned. I’m trying to get a picture but can’t even see it in the shade that’s how very light the dent is, maybe I’ll use a small plunger now I’m double scared to even try and fix it lol.

Ok if someone walks by they won’t see it due to the color of my car, but if you know it’s there you will always see it haha. Not sure if you can see the small dent but I tried to take a photo of it but the color makes it hard to see. I might be able to live with it but i will always know it’s there lol. I will try that suction cup thing idea.

Personally, I would let the pros fix it. Then again.. first scratch, dent or ding in my vehicles.. I always leave it... because of course you are going to get one eventually anyway and the first strike means never worrying about a second strike... because you baby is not pristine any more, so Murphy won't come looking for it to dent it.

I hear you about the dings and scratches just upset at myself because I’m not even on my second payment yet. lol I will probably leave it it’s not really noticeable unless your at a certain angle and light reflection.
